Every student, every day, is engaged in meaningful, affirming, grade-level instruction.
In accordance with ORS 329.045, in 2023, the Oregon State Board of Education formally adopted content standards for Higher Education & Career Path Skills.
The Oregon Personal Financial Education and Higher Education & Career Path Skills Standards provide a coherent set of expectations for the knowledge, skills, and practices that students will develop throughout their education. Grounded in research and informed by community input, the standards emphasize helping students learn how to navigate a wide range of education and career pathways available to them; connect learning to real-world experiences, community contexts, and cultural identities; and, build self-awareness, confidence, and curiosity in postsecondary and career options.
These standards reflect Oregon’s commitment to equity, excellence, and access for every student and serve as the foundation for instruction, assessment, and high-quality instructional materials selection and implementation.
Grounded in this foundation, Oregon’s required Transformative SEL Standards are to be integrated alongside Higher Education & Career Path standards to create the conditions for learning and thriving.
We will share updates here as future standards review or revision processes are identified. Please check back for the latest information.
